Meet Our Team

I am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner that specializes in medication management for children, adolescents, and young adults. I have worked as a nurse for many years both in a school-based setting and in a pediatrics office, and I really enjoy working with this age group. I strongly feel that by partnering with children and their families to address mental health needs at a young age we can make a difference that can affect their development, education, and social growth, as well as help to foster a peaceful family life. I can work with my clients to diagnose most mental health conditions including depression, anxiety, behavioral problems, ADHD, mood disorders and many other conditions. I will work together with the client and family to create a treatment plan that addresses the needs that we identify together. Emphasis is in keeping up with the latest changes in psychiatry, providing evidenced based care, and a commitment to using the least amount of medication possible to get the optimal results. Care will be provided to all clients, regardless of race, ethnicity, physical ability or attributes, religion, sexual orientation, gender in a compassionate manner.

I’m a licensed social worker born and raised in Conyers, Georgia. I graduated from Auburn University with a Bachelor’s degree in social work and completed my Master’s of Social Work and Master’s of Public Administration degrees at Grand Valley State University. I live in Harbor Springs, Michigan, with my partner, our two daughters and our dog, Charlie. I’ve been in the social work field for approximately 15 years. I see all age individuals five and up and utilize different techniques to work through difficult situations from a strengths based perspective including but not limited to EMDR, CBT, MI, ACT, and MRT. I believe that we all have our own journey to walk on and I am here to help you through this part of your journey.
